INSIDE

The Mid Canterbury community paid more than $700,000 in 2014 as part of New Zealand’s free education.

Figures obtained from the Ministry of Education show that schools in Mid Canterbury received more than $700,000 in donations in 2014.

This includes money from parent donations, money from organisations and businesses and funds raised by school committees.

Rakaia School principal Mark Ellis said these figures show that the old adage of education being free is not correct.

His school received $35,602 in donations in 2014 from parents, the school support group and grants from organisations.

While the Ministry of Education provided money for operational costs, the money received from donations was re-

quired for extra things such as swimming and educational apps.

“It’s a feature of schooling in New Zealand that education is not free.”

The school had always had donations come in and ask each parent to pay $10 per child per term (a maximum of $100 per family).

About 75 per cent of their parents paid the donations each year.

Methven Primary School principal Chris Murphy said their amount of donations changes each year because the amount of grants and money raised by the PTA depends on what big projects they have.

Most years they will receive about $5000 solely from parent donations, with parents being asked to give $50 per student (a maximum of $100 per family).

While donations are not compulsory, they are important to every school because they enhance the programmes

each school is able to offer, he said.

Last year Methven Primary School received about $30,000 from their PTA to help with a number of different projects.

Mount Hutt College principal John Schreurs said the parents’ and community’s support is invaluable to his school with the 2014 donations totalling $44,055.

About 92 per cent of parents paid the voluntary fee of $100 per student and while it was important that it was not compulsory because many families found it difficult to pay, donations really helped the school with things like music and sports equipment.

Ashburton College’s donations were nearly three times the Mount Hutt figure in 2014 at $123,707, but principal Grant McMillan said some of this money was raised by organisations to help with their 50th jubilee in March 2015.

Ashburton College asks for $100 per student and $150 a family.

Ashburton will welcome state tenants By suE nEwman

SuE.n@thEguardian.co.nz

Ashburton could be rolling out the welcome mat to Aucklanders on social housing lists under a proposal to provide a cash incentive if they relocate to the regions.

And that plan, revealed yesterday by Social Housing Minister Paula Bennett, has the support of Ashburton’s Mayor Angus McKay. He sees it as one more tool that can be used to boost the district’s population.

Ms Bennett singled Ashburton out as a potential destination for South Aucklanders because of its strong Pacific Island community.

It is also considered an area of low state housing demand. The cash incentive to move south is being offered in an effort to reduce the 2000-plus waiting list for state housing in Auckland.

Mr McKay believes the Ashburton District is well placed to take families from South Auckland as it has the social support and community networks that might be needed by new arrivals.

“We have support from community organisations, from churches and with jobs. We look to attract immigrants from all over the world – including Auckland,” he said.

While there could be concerns over possible social issues with an influx of new arrivals, Mr McKay said Ashburton was no different to any other part of New Zealand, in that those social issues were already part of its social mix.

“It’s a fallacy to think we don’t have what the rest of New Zealand has. Unfortunately we have all the social problems to some degree; we’re not immune.”

He believed the scheme would not result in a mass migration of families south.

“No matter what incentives you give, people still have to want to

Angus McKay come and they have to want to stay. We thought we’d get a lot of people from Christchurch after the earthquakes. Initially they came, but found they were too far away from their friends and family and they moved back closer to Christchurch again, so I’m confident we won’t be inundated.”

Safer Ashburton manager Kevin Clifford said that Ashburton had a good range of social services available, but increased demand would need to be matched by an increase in government funding.

“Organisations like ours haven’t had their funding increased for a few years, so we’re already trying to do more with the same amount of money.”

He supports the concept of relocating families to where there was available housing, but said the numbers that were likely to come would not have a significant impact on the support systems available in Ashburton.

“It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, but if people are looking to better their lives then there are opportunities to do that here.”

Housing New Zealand has been investigating which regions had the most state house vacancies.

Of Ashburton’s 186 houses, seven are currently vacant.

Participants will have the job of building a new land and controlling weapons of mass destruction in what Zac MillerWaugh believes is the only Minecraft gaming event in New Zealand.

The 16-year-old was first introduced to Minecraft – a computer game where users can build or destroy houses, mine, fight monsters and create worlds – in 2011 through a friend and has been playing it ever since. “I like the fact there are infinite possibilities.

Four Kiwi sisters have banded together to help their mum find someone special to share her life with.

Aucklanders Ashleigh, Hannah, Georgia and UK-based Kellie Habgood have launched a dating website especially for their mother, 60-year-old Jan Habgood.

Dubbed The Sea, the website was launched a few days ago and features a video of the sisters, a photo of their mum and a description: “We are four sisters ... from Auckland, New Zealand. We’ve set up this blog in an effort to help our mum find a man. Her name is Jan and she is awesome.”

The site goes on to describe how the siblings feel about wanting their mother to find someone special: “Our parents separated 10 years ago and it’s time we find our amazing mum a man. Whether it’s fear, insecurity or pride, something is holding mum back from getting back into the scene. It is so frustrating to see someone so easy to love and so deserving of love, not believe it.”

Jan Habgood works as a teacher in Auckland. She is an ex-ski instructor and loves the outdoors and going on holidays; as well as relaxing at home and movienights in.

■ RAKAIA INCIDENT

In brief

Firefighter to horse’s rescue

By Erin TaskEr

erin.t@theguardian.co.nz

A quick stop-off in Rakaia for a coffee and a toilet stop on Monday night turned into a dramatic tale of rescue.

The mother and daughter – who didn’t want to be named – had a horse float in tow, and while the mother was in the Rakaia Mobil Station, something frightened the horse they were taking home. The horse freaked out, tore up the inside of the float and ended up upside down, and stuck.

The daughter had been in the car, and realised something was up. She got out and went to open

the horse float door, but it swung out and hit her in the head.

At the same time, Rakaia volunteer firefighter Stuart Wiseman was heading to the Rakaia Volunteer Fire Brigade’s training night.

“I was at the intersection of the main road and looked across the road and saw the float, and when I went to cross the road I saw the daughter get skittled by the door and the float was bouncing around,” he said.

He pulled over and raced to help. An engineer who has had a lot to do with horses in the past, he didn’t hesitate to climb into the horse float. The horse was upside down, with its head stuck

at an awkward angle, and its leg was across the bar he needed to access to free the animal.

The horse had calmed though, and Mr Wiseman was able to get it to lift its leg off the bar and free it.

The horse – which weighed an estimated 400kg – was then loaded back onto the float to continue the journey home quickly, in case it got spooked again.

The horse received some nasty cuts after tearing some metal loose, and required bandaging, and the daughter also required a visit to the doctor later that night for her knock to the head, but both are now recovering from

Children’s Day plans

their injuries.

Running on adrenalin at the time, the women later realised they didn’t even ask their helper’s name.

“The only thing I noticed about him was he was in a work van and had a fire brigade jacket on,” the mother said.

A post to the brigade’s Facebook page to thank their mystery helper revealed it was Mr Wiseman.

He’d told the story of his good deed once he got to brigade training.

“I said I’d done my good deed for the day and was going home,” he joked.

Planning is under way for the annual Mid Canterbury Children’s Day. Held at the Tinwald Domain and Plains Railway complex on March 6 the theme for this year’s celebration is Treasure our Children which encourages parents to think of new ways to treasure a child.

The annual event gives families the chance to enjoy a range of activities including face painting, crafts and an array of rides before indulging in a barbecue at no cost.

■ METHVEN CRASH

Distraction blamed for crash

Driver distraction is believed to have been the cause of a crash near Methven which left two people requiring medical attention on Wednesday evening.

Methven Police senior constable Mike Seque said the vehicle – a Toyota fourwheel-drive – was being driven along a straight stretch of Pudding Hill Road at around 6.20pm when it veered off to the left, before the driver over-corrected and the vehicle rolled. It came to rest in the middle of the road.

The male driver sustained hand and forearm injuries and was taken to the Methven Medical Centre via ambulance for treatment, while the female passenA d vger i c was e •airlifted T r u s t to•Christchurch Care Hospital Countdown Complex, East Street, Ashburton by the Westpac Rescue Phone: 03 308 6733 Fax: 03 308 6755 Helicopter with a compound fracture in a finger, and a pos-

Mr Seque said the vehicle was written off in the crash, with the two driver’s side wheels completely ripped off.

“The hub, the part of the wheel that goes into the braking system, was still inside the wheel,” he said.

Alcohol and speed were not thought to be factors in the crash.

Mr Seque said the driver had told him he was distracted.

“He was possibly sightseeing instead of concentrating on what he should have been doing,” Mr Seque said.

Police enquiries were continuing and it was not yet known whether charges would be laid.

The Methven Volunteer Fire Brigade also attended the scene, as did ambulances from Methven and Ashburton, and a doctor from Methven.

■ MID CANTERBURY SCHOOLS

Graduates dispute relief shortage

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

A number of recent teaching graduates have difficulty finding relief work despite a shortage around the country.

Earlier this week several Mid Canterbury school principals voiced their concerns about the difficulty in finding relief teachers.

But there have been a few University of Canterbury (UC) graduates, who have been trying to find permanent and relief work around Canterbury, who

have had difficulty. UC Bachelor of Education (Physical Education) graduate Lachlan Paewai said he had done relief teaching at a number of different schools around Canterbury but it was difficult to find work initially.

Schools tended to want to use the relief teachers they had used in the past, he said.

“Once I started relieving at a school they kept getting me back and I found it easy to get consistent relief but schools seem to stick with what they know works.”

Permanent teaching positions could also be hard to find and Mr Paewai was using relieving as a way to get his foot in the door, he said.

Another UC graduate Natalie Bell said she had never done relief work but would be interested because of the benefits it provides in terms of professional networking.

However, she also agreed that it was hard to get work at schools around Canterbury because most wanted to use their existing relief teachers.

Ballie Graham, who also graduated with a Bachelor of Education, said it is good for networking and getting her name out there but it has been difficult finding relief work, she said.

Mid Canterbury Principals’ Association president and Methven Primary School principal Chris Murphy said while schools around the district often used their existing relievers they were keen to hear from any graduates wanting relief work.

Most times only one reliever would be needed but there were

occasional days when more were required due to teachers being on training courses.

Schools needed their pool of relievers to be as large as possible because of the shortage but they also needed to make sure their regular relievers were happy and being used as much as possible.

Graduates should not feel put off handing their CVs out at schools because they would try to accommodate them.

It does not matter if they live in Christchurch as long as they are able to turn up on time, he said.

Changing face of SLA

By Caitlin PoRteR

caitlin.p@theguaRdian.co.nz

Ashburton’s integrated health alliance now has a new person at its helm.

Anna Dalzell has taken over from Craig Watson as the Ashburton Service Level Alliance (SLA) network facilitator.

Mr Watson finished his role yesterday to take up a new opportunity in Christchurch.

The Ashburton SLA, which operates within the Canterbury Clinical Network, consists of health providers, leaders and professionals from all around the district.

The aim of the SLA is to guide the transformation of local health care services.

Mrs Dalzell, based on a farm in Coalgate, trained as a teacher and has worked as a programme coordinator and as a mental health advocate.

She was also a Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) practitioner.

She has experience working with St John ambulance as a volunteer and as support co-ordinator running a programme for people with moderate anxiety.

Mrs Dalzell said when the opportunity to work with the Ashburton SLA arose she jumped at the chance.

“I was looking for something to sink my teeth into,” she said.

“It’s an exciting challenge, to use my facilitating skills to help people to engage with the health system.”

The Ashburton SLA will meet for the first time this year on February 18.

Mums and Bubs movie sessions a success

By RuBy HaRfield

Ruby.h@theguaRdian.co.nz

More than 25 mums, their babies and other children, crowded into the Regent Cinema to watch The Good Dinosaur during a Mums and Bubs session yesterday morning.

Owner David Favel said they had been offering Mums and

Bubs movies intermittently over the past few years.

They run the sessions every so often or when people request it. Many of them are children’s movies but not always, last week mums (and dads) were able to take their babies to see Daddy’s Home.

Mr Favel believes they are al-

ways successful because it is a nice way to socialise and give the mums a treat.

Most of the parents chat before and after the movie, he said.

It was busy yesterday because it was the school holidays and mums brought their other children along to the movie too, Mr Favel said.

A lot of the mothers usually go straight to the front row so they can lay a blanket out for their babies to play on the ground.

The sound is lower in these movies and the lights are half on throughout the viewing.

Customers are also able to bring their babies into any other movie as long as they are quiet.

Decrease in welfare benefits locally Anna Dalzell

The number of people in the Ashburton District collecting welfare benefits has dropped over the past year.

There are now 46 fewer people in Mid and South Canterbury collecting a main benefit than there were this time last year.

This decline is led by a de-

crease in sole parent beneficiaries.

Currently there are nine fewer sole parent support beneficiaries, with Rangitata MP Jo Goodhew saying this was due to the number of parents moving into work.

“Having people in full time,

sustainable employment helps break the cycle of welfare dependency because we know that children who grow up in benefit-dependent homes are more likely to end up on welfare themselves,” she said.

The falling number of beneficiaries (38,000 nationally) was a

strong indication that recent welfare reforms that focused on increasing individuals’ independence, were working, Mrs Goodhew said.

“Moving from welfare into work means a better life for people and their families in our communities.”

■ ASHBURTON CONSTRUCTION FORECAST

In brief

More competition for jobs

By Sue NewmaN

Sue.n@theguardian.co.nz

As post earthquake infrastructural work in Christchurch slows, Ashburton businesses in the construction sector are likely to face tougher competition for local jobs, a contracting company manager says.

For several years, Ashburton Contracting (ACL) chief executive Gary Casey said, his company would be up against two or three others when tendering for work; indications are that this year the number of competitors is likely to double.

“We’re getting a lot more competition coming from outside the district. It’s coming from all over the place driven by the

softening of markets across the country in construction.

“A lot of Christchurch’s infrastructure below ground is built and there’s been a quietening down in the subdivision market around Christchurch,” Mr Casey said.

And that meant work coming on-stream through the tender system in the Ashburton District was now attracting strong interest, he said.

While ACL had a full work book into the new year, Mr Casey said there had been a general slowing in the market, largely due to tougher times for the dairy sector and a cut in spending on on-farm development and dairy conversions.

The positive side for businesses was that they were experiencing a lull in what had been for some time an on-going search for employees.

“We’re in a good position for staff at the moment. We are seeing a lot more CVs coming from Australia, a lot of good people are on the market now, whereas not too long ago, if anyone stood up you’d look at employing them. Right now, overall we’re comfortable where we’re at in a much more competitive market.”

Grow Mid Canterbury chief executive Rob Brawley believes it will be a year of cautious optimism rather than spectacular growth.

While national business commentators are suggesting that confidence was rising and more employers were looking to take on additional staff, Mr Brawley believes there won’t be a wholesale rise in new jobs in the district.

“I’d be cautioning people that they still need to be careful in light of the lower cash flows in the dairy sector.

“Things will pick up, it’s not a case of if, it’s when.”

While Ashburton was traditionally marked by a shortage of employees, Mr Brawley believes that pressure had eased a little as tougher times in the dairy sector prompted people to be a little more cautious around staffing.

Parrot spooked by gulls A male macaw at Auckland Zoo briefly refused to come home after being spooked by bullying gulls during a free-fly session with his keepers.

Auckland Zoo spokeswoman Kate Orgias said the macaw, named Chico, was about to finish up his spell as a free parrot when “unfortunately as he tried to return he got chased by some gulls”.

Auckland Zoo free flies some of its birds regularly within the grounds, near the rotunda, Ms Orgias said.

Chico’s keepers kept a close eye on him and patiently waited for him to return while he processed his brush with the wild birds.

Ms Orgias said while there was some delay in Chico’s return it wasn’t a long wait.

He has now been returned to his cage.

Chico’s wings are not clipped but Ms Orgias said it was highly unlikely he would fly away from zoo grounds.

■ TE ATATU MURDER

Teen’s name suppressed

Cun Tian charges of sexually violating the mother and grandmother.

Ms Tian was found dead in her Glenvil Lane home last Friday by her daughter and son-in-law when they arrived back from work shortly after 5pm.

Police said the attack – which was not heard by any neighbours – was violent and prolonged, and Ms Tian was struck multiple times around her head and face.

The investigation team brought in criminal profilers as they tried to find who was responsible for Mrs Tian’s death and said on Wednesday they were seeking sightings of a man in a white and

green tracksuit.

The investigation, dubbed Operation Nepal, was manned by 25 investigators and additional staff.

Te Atatu residents commended police for the quick arrest.

Many took to social media to react to news of the arrest.

“As a resident of Te Atatu this is a great relief to my family, however I’m horrified by the truth of the crime,” said Leeanne Boyle.

“Two families destroyed and our little community deeply shocked.”

Jody Chambers wrote: “Fantastic quick result, relieved for victim’s family”.

- NZME

By Laura MiLLs Some Runanga homeowners have been left with negative equity after the recent revaluation, while a Blackball home is now worth less than a second-hand campervan, according to residents up in arms about the new valuations.

QV recently wiped $40,000 off the value of some Blackball properties, while in Runanga, the worst case is a $70,000 decrease.

People had until yesterday to object to their valuation.

Blackball resident Paul Maunder said his house – three bedrooms, sewerage, water, electricity and broadband to national standards, all sitting on a quarter acre section, with tunnel house and garage – was worth less than a second-hand campervan.

“We do live in a mad world,” Mr Maunder said.

He met last week with a QV West Coast representative, who told him all of rural New Zealand was experiencing a decline.

However, a low valuation did not always mean a drop in rates.

“That’s a myth; and if people can’t sensibly buy in Blackball it leads to a hollowing out of the community – dropping school role, no volunteers for fire, am-

bulance and all the other things that are kept going through volunteer labour,” Mr Maunder said.

It was essential to “value our properties and our community; to put a realistic value on property and not flog it off cheaply”.

At a meeting on Wednesday night, residents penned a letter to QV. “We know of resident losses between $10 to $70,000 and valuations below ‘actual offers’, and others who are now trapped in ‘negative equity’ meaning they will not risk renovation,” the letter says. “New homeowners will not risk buying here, banks will react accordingly.”

Yet, some owners with properties on the market had rejected offers higher than the new QV valuation. They claim there are “three glaring anomalies” in the valuation process: 1. The construction of new homes in Runanga, and tourism/accommodation ventures.

2. Wider plans for economic development including the Pike 29 Great Walk, the development of Wilderness Cycleway and Southern Paparoa Cycle-Pathways.

3. The multi-million dollar restoration and redevelopment of Runanga Miners’ Hall - NZME APR31403

The identity of the 19-year-old man charged with murdering and sexually violating Cun Tian in her Te Atatu home will remain a secret until at least his next court appearance.

He appeared in the Waitakere District Court yesterday and was granted interim name suppression by Judge David Mather until his next appearance in the High Court at Auckland.

Wearing a blue police-issued boiler suit he acknowledged his mother who was in the public gallery. She was visibly upset and being comforted by another woman.

He then shouted “f*** them ay, f*** the murder charge.”

He also gave the fingers from the dock and abused television media using expletives.

Judge Mather also suppressed the summary of facts filed by police in court.

The youth was remanded in custody until February 10 when he will appear in the High Court at Auckland.

At the end of the hearing a woman yelled at him “you low down piece of s***”.

The Te Atatu youth was arrested on Wednesday night and charged with murdering Mrs Tian, 69, on January 15. He also faces two

OUR VIEW

Just another housing scheme Sue Newman

ACTING EDITOR

T

here are a thousand schemes and ideas that are great in theory, but when put to the practical test they’re found wanting.

And so it could be with the latest scheme to solve Auckland’s housing crisis. The rest of the country has listened to real estate and social housing experts banging on for months about the dire situation the cash poor face in the search for a home. For buyers, a mortgage of eye-watering proportions is needed and for renters, if you’re not double income, then finding accommodation is almost impossible.

For anyone whose assets are little more than a few sticks of furniture and a benefit, finding somewhere to live is a souldestroying challenge. Social housing waiting lists are put at 2000 and climbing.

Living in Auckland, except for the well heeled, seems to be a fast-fading dream.

State Housing Minister Paula Bennett has come up with a solution that, while not solving the problem, could go some way towards reducing state house waiting lists.

She’s proposing to give a cash incentive to people on Auckland’s waiting list if they’ll move to a state house in the regions.

She’s targeted Ashburton as one of the prime spots where demand is low and state houses stand vacant.

In theory it’s a great idea.

People would get homes and we’d get people who would boost our population and help with employers’ never-ending search for staff. The reality may fall far short.

While some of those seeking to move may be looking for a new start and new opportunities, others may not be seeking to work or may come with multiple social issues in tow.

For this scheme to work for us, the people relocating would need to be motivated and they’d need to be prepared to create a new life away from friends and family. And that’s not easy. Without a support network, making your way in a new community is no easy task.

Time will be the test of whether the incentive scheme will work. It might be an idea fraught with fish hooks, but it’s an idea in an area where doing nothing is not an option. We need to give it a shot.

Food labels made easy

I

hope this flies. The UK is considering adding activity equivalent icons on food labels.

The idea is to inform consumers just how many minutes of exercise will be needed to burn off the contents.

A sample chocolate bar from the Royal Society of Public Health shows small icons of a stick figure running, cycling, and swimming beside the number of minutes it would take to burn off the calories inside.

To rid the body of the candy’s calories, the eater would have to run for 40 minutes, bike for 49 minutes, or swim for 29 minutes, based on Heart Foundation statistics.

A 171-calorie bag of potato chips would require jogging 19 minutes, cycling 23 minutes, or swimming 13 minutes.

The organisation believes the pictures present the info more easily than nutritional stats, which many people find confusing.

I really do believe that if this

Phill Hooper OFF THE AIR

was on the wrappers of the goods in our shopping trolley each week it would make me think twice at the very least.

It’s so hard to know exactly what to look for in the nutrition stats on the wrappers. Sugars, carbs, energy, protein, sodium or fats? I guess some of that depends on what your GP says and what diet you’re currently signed up to.

I reckon this sounds like an easy-to-understand way to watch what you are eating.

Would it make a teenager think twice about tucking into that burger and can of energy drink though? Doubt it, but surely it’s worth a go?

Maybe they might hop off the Xbox or drag themselves from

their phone and actually do the suggested exercise. OK sorry, I know, I went to some sort of dreamland for a bit then.

Wait! What if it was used as a reward? “You kids can have those chocolate bars and we’ll get takeaways for dinner, but we all need to go on a 30-minute walk first.”

“Or we can have a nice salad”. Is this a win-win or what? If they’re too lazy to do the exercise, they have to eat healthy, but if they put the hard yards in, then they get the reward.

I’m sure a PC policeman/ woman is jumping up and down about this now. Likening it to slave labour or child torture.

It would mean parents having to follow through on things though, which is surely another win? They would also get some exercise or eat healthy, but also spend some QUALITY time together.

Following through on things can be tough for partents to do sometimes and I’m not sure why.

I think maybe because we have just got soft as a society (cue

I was nearly guilty of not following through last weekend. McKenzie, my 13-year-old daughter, the kid responsible for all my greys to date (yeah I know, plenty more to come yet) wanted to go to the movies with her mate.

I gave her $20 and said she would be doing some chores in return. For about 10 seconds when she was cleaning the loo I felt guilty, but I got over it quickly and felt good as she vacuumed and cleaned the bathroom sink.

You know what, the exercise of those chores probably burnt off the popcorn and drink consumed at the cinema. Boom!

■ PAKISTAN

Deadly attack on school Once again, Islamic militants stormed a school in northeastern Pakistan in a deadly attack that lasted for hours.

And once again, the blood of students and teachers stained classrooms and hallways, raising questions about whether security forces are able to protect the country’s educational institutions from extremists.

At least 20 people were killed and 23 were wounded in the assault at Bacha Khan University in Charsadda before the four gunmen were slain and the military declared an end to the siege.

Two teachers were among the dead, including a chemistry professor who was praised as a hero for shooting back at the attackers and allowing some students to escape.

The university attack was grimly reminiscent of the December 2014 massacre at an army public school in nearby Peshawar that killed 150, mostly children.

A breakaway faction of the Taliban took responsibility for the university attack, although a spokesman for the larger Taliban organisation, led by Mullah Fazlullah, denied having anything to do with it and called it “un-Islamic”.

The violence shows how

Swedish pop group ABBA have made a rare joint appearance, but refused to pose for photographs at the opening of a Stockholm restaurant inspired by the Mamma Mia! musical. Benny Andersson, Agnetha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad showed up yesterday for the opening night of fellow former band member Bjoern Ulvaeus’ Greek taverna, where guests are invited to sing along to ABBA tunes. They did not sing or pose for photos together and rejected suggestions they would ever perform together again, with Andersson saying “I don’t think so.”

Adele singing at Grammys Pakistani women light candles during a vigil for victims of the Bacha Khan University attack, in Peshawar, Pakistan.

PHOTO AP vulnerable schools remain in Pakistan, where extremists have sought to prevent Western-style education, especially for girls.

Malala Yousafzai was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize after the teenager was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman in

2012 outside her school in the Swat Valley because of her vocal support for gender equality and education for girls. She said she was “heartbroken” by the latest attack.

Several schools were closed last weekend after intelligence suggested militants were plan-

ning an attack, according to Muhammed Amir Rana, director of the private Pakistan Institute for Peace Studies.

After the Peshawar attack, the government promised to set up a joint Intelligence Directorate, but that has not happened yet.

Dalai Lama ■ IRAQ Oldest Christian monastery razed undergoes prostate treatment in the US The Dalai Lama is at the Mayo Clinic in the United States for treatment of a prostate condition.

The clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, said in a statement yesterday that the 80-year-old Tibetan Buddhist leader is being treated for a prostate condition “that is common for men of his age”.

The statement says his doctors report no major concerns and expect he will “respond well to treatment and make a full recovery.”

The Dalai Lama previously said he was traveling to the United States for prostate treatment and a medical checkup, although he had no “specific health complaints.”

In September, the Dalai Lama cancelled a series of appearances in the United States on the advice of his US doctors.

He was told to rest for several weeks after a medical checkup.

ABBA appear together

Satellite photos have confirmed what church leaders and Middle East preservationists had feared: The oldest Christian monastery in Iraq has been reduced to a field of rubble, yet another victim of the Islamic State group’s relentless destruction of heritage sites it considers heretical.

St. Elijah’s Monastery stood as a place of worship for 1400 years, including most recently for US troops.

In earlier millennia, generations of monks tucked candles in the niches, prayed in the chapel, worshipped at the altar. The Greek letters chi and rho, representing the first two letters of Christ’s name, were carved near the entrance.

This month satellite imagery firm DigitalGlobe tasked a high resolution camera to grab photos of the site, and then pulled earlier images of the same spot.

Before it was razed, a partially restored, 27,000-squarefoot stone and mortar building stood fortress-like on a hill above Mosul. Although the roof was largely missing, it had 26 distinctive rooms including a sanctuary and chapel.

One month later photos show “that the stone walls have been literally pulverised,” said imagery analyst Stephen Wood, CEO of Allsource Analysis, who pinpointed the destruction between August and September 2014. “Bulldozers,

Adele’s blockbuster new album missed the deadline for this year’s Grammys – but she will still be at the ceremony to sing.

Organisers of the music industry’s biggest night announced yesterday that Adele would perform a track off her album 25 at the February 15 award ceremony in Los Angeles.

As is customary, the Grammys will also feature performances by leading nominees.

This year’s appearances will include rapper Kendrick Lamar, who received a near-record 11 Grammy nominations amid acclaim for his latest album To Pimp a Butterfly, and Canadian R&B singer The Weeknd, a contender for awards in seven categories.

The Grammys will also feature a tribute to veteran pop and R&B chart-topper Lionel Richie, who is being honoured for his career’s work.

Longer wait for sequel

These satellite photos confirm what church leaders and Middle East preservationists had feared: The St Elijah’s Monastery has been reduced to a field of rubble. heavy equipment, sledgehammers, possibly explosives turned those stone walls into this field of gray-white dust.

They destroyed it completely,” he said.

On the other side of the world, in his office in exile, in Irbil, Iraq, Catholic priest Rev Paul Thabit Habib, 39, stared in disbelief at the before and after images.

“Our Christian history in Mosul is being barbarically

levelled,” he said in Arabic.

“We see it as an attempt to expel us from Iraq, eliminating and finishing our existence in this land.”

The Islamic State group, which now controls large parts of Iraq and Syria, has killed thousands of civilians in the past two years. Along the way, its fighters have destroyed whatever they consider contrary to their interpretation of Islam.

Star Wars fans will have to wait just a little longer for the anticipated sequel, after Walt Disney Studios announced the movie would be pushed back seven months. Star Wars: Episode VIII was previously scheduled for May 26 but has since been delayed until December 15, reportedly to allow director Rian Johnson more time for script work.

The lengthy delays set the film back to the same release time of its predecessor The Force Awakens, which smashed opening box office records.

Sopranos star battling MS Jamie-Lynn Sigler has been battling multiple sclerosis for the past 15 years. The Sopranos actress tells People magazine she was diagnosed with the degenerative disease when she was 19 years old, ahead of the show’s fourth season. Sigler says she wasn’t emotionally prepared to reveal her condition to the public until now. The 34-year-old actress says her symptoms have become worse over the past decade. Sigler noted that she can’t run or walk for long periods of time without rest.

Annualised inflation is now at just 0.1 per cent, significantly lower than the RBNZ’s 2-3 per cent target. This is the lowest level since 1999 and has been driven in large part by falling petrol prices. The low inflation level places some pressure on the RBNZ to cut the official cash rate (OCR) below its current level of 2.5 per cent. The next OCR review is next week.

At the latest Global Dairy Trade auction held this week we saw another fall in dairy prices, the second drop in as many auctions this year. Prices are moving further away from Fonterra’s target and are putting pressure on the forecast payout for the current season. The latest fall has been attributed to increasing supply from other areas and confidence in future supply.

In the US reporting season continues, although it is yet to ramp up fully. Most of the major US banks have now reported results and appear to be keeping a close eye on an energy sector being crushed by low oil prices.

posures to the oil and gas sectors have been punished following results. Next week, expect a flurry of results as reporting season shifts up a gear. Some of the big names set to report include McDonald’s and Apple.

Oil continues to flounder, dipping to levels not seen since 2003, and has been a massive drag on equity markets this year. Oversupply issues and ever-increasing stockpiles have been the major cause of drops. Iran, after complying with conditions around nuclear testing, has had sanctions removed, adding to the already oversupplied market. The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) also came out and said that it sees prices making a recovery this year, although have continued to produce oil at close to record levels.

A case in point of the pain low oil prices is causing to some is Venezuela, a nation where oil exports make up 95 per cent of export revenues. Venezuela attempted to call an emergency OPEC meeting urging fellow members to try to prop the price of oil up. The country is now in an economic emergency with 60 per cent of its total disappearing.

OPEC is next scheduled to meet in June, so supply is hardly likely to slow until after this date.

The market week in review arkets have continued their downward trajectory this week, following oil prices lower. Trading continues to be volatile as investors process various pieces of information, including Chinese GDP, inflation data and the latest Global Dairy Trade auction.

The biggest item on the economic agenda this week was Chinese gross domestic product (GDP). The world’s second largest economy has been the cause of much of the market turmoil since the beginning of the year, so there was a lot of anticipation surrounding the announcement. Expectations were for GDP growth to come in at 6.9 per cent for the quarter, in line with the September quarter. However, it came in slightly below this at 6.8 per cent. Overall, Chinese GDP grew by 6.9 per cent in 2015, the lowest level of economic growth seen in 25 years. The validity of data released from China is often viewed with scepticism, however, the market reacted positively, seeing that the lower than expected rate would see further stimulus measures from the Central Bank and Government.

The New Zealand economic calendar has been reasonably active this week with the most prominent piece of data being consumer price inflation (CPI) for the December quarter. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) expected inflation to be -0.2 per cent for the quarter, however, the actual figure came

in oil prices. That upbeat sentiment continued into the Asian trading session, with China’s Shanghai Composite index up 0.5 per cent in afternoon trading, Japan’s Nikkei 225 index gaining 0.2 per cent, and Australia’s S&P/ ASX 200 index rising 0.9 per cent.

“Equities had a convincing bounce from the lows of the Dow (Jones Industrial Average), which saw US stocks recover a large proportion of their losses,” said experts.

■ COMMENT

The New Zealand dollar recovered Wednesday’s losses as oil prices rose from a 13-year low, triggering a rally in equity markets and spurring demand for commodity-linked currencies.

The kiwi rose to 64.36 US cents at 5pm in Wellington from 64.19 cents at 8am, and 63.77 cents yesterday. The tradeweighted index gained to 71.22 from 70.65.

A commission spokesman confirmed it was now assessing whether the action of the loyalty programme warranted further investigation after two people laid a complaint over the company’s failure to honour purchases.

“We’ve been in touch with Fly Buys to ask how the error occurred,” he said. A decision would then be made to see if further investigation was warranted.

Disgruntled Fly Buys customers have told the Herald how they had been told their purchase would not go ahead despite written confirmation saying otherwise.

One person said he was in a queue waiting to collect his device when he was told it was not valid.

Another received a tweet saying there had been a mistake.

Fly Buys said it would not force those who already had their iPad to hand them back.

The Commerce Commission is handling two complaints after disgruntled Fly Buys customers were denied a new Apple iPad Air for next to nothing.

Earlier this week the top of line products were offered at a bargain basement one point on the loyalty programme website.

The offer, deemed a mistake

by Loyalty NZ, was retracted and corrected to the 7000 points they were really worth.

But this was not before 126 customers tried to claim 600 iPads.

Seventeen people picked up 23 devices from Noel Leeming before the mistake was realised.

Group head of news Mark Jennings praised her dedication and professionalism over the years.

“She is without a doubt one of the most polished presenters New Zealand has produced. Carolyn always combines precision and authority with warmth – something only the best anchors are able to do,” he said.

“People will notice a significant difference when we have the next big breaking news event. Integration means we can throw our full resources into these types of stories and provide New Zealanders with the news and information often so vital to the affected communities.”

Meanwhile, long-time journalist and anchor for the channel, Carolyn Robinson, is leaving her

The format will see the integration of the 3News and RadioLIVE teams – something McRoberts says will prove to be a big force when a big news story breaks.

“Journalism is all about communities, and with our integration our ‘community’ has just got a lot wider. I’m hoping that will be reflected in the diversity and depth of our reporting,” he said.

Must-win match for Mid Canty

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

Mid Canterbury will welcome frontrunners North Otago to the Ashburton Oval tomorrow for a must win Southern Zone elimination clash.

Hopes of a Hawke Cup challenge were all but washed away when last weekend’s tie aginst Southland was abandoned due to dismal weather.

Following an explosive start to the season, tomorrow’s opponents are just one step away from earning a challenge.

North Otago took outright wins over Otago Country and Southland before recording a first innings victory over South Canterbury in Oamaru a fortnight ago.

In contrast, Mid Canterbury’s only taste of Hawke Cup action this season was a four-wicket outright defeat against South Canterbury at Aorangi Oval in November and last weekend’s washout against Southland.

Despite the odds being firmly stacked against the home side, there is still a slim chance of earning a challenge.

Mid Canterbury must beat North Otago outright, keeping them pointless, and then notch

Ivanovic shaken by fan’s fall Ana Ivanovic was left shaken after a patron fell down a flight of stairs during her Australian Open win over Anastasija Sevastova yesterday.

Ivanovic was leading 4-3 in the first set when play was delayed for 26 minutes while the spectator received medical attention from a health professional in the crowd before a first aid team arrived.

The players remained on court for most of the delay but were headed for the locker room when they were advised to return as the fan was stretchered from the area.

Play resumed after a threeminute warm-up, with the world No.23 regaining her composure to advance to the third round with a 6-3 6-3 win over the Latvian qualifier.

“I felt really bad, I was actually shaking, because the sound of the lady falling was really loud ...

I stopped immediately,” Ivanovic said. “Maybe it’s not a good tendency to think of the worst but it didn’t sound so good. I just hope the lady is fine.”

The patron was stretchered from the stadium.

The incident comes just two days after Bernard Tomic’s firstround match against Denis Istomin was delayed for 20 minutes while a woman received medical treatment in the crowd.

an outright win over Otago Country next weekend.

Mid Canterbury captain Bevan Ravenscroft said it’s now or never for his players, who will throw everything at North Otago.

“I think they’ll look to try and deny us and go for first innings, whereas we’re after 20 wickets and need to score more runs,” he said.

“This is it for us, there’s no next weekend, North Otago have had the wood over us the last few years so it will be good to get them back to the oval and have a real good crack.”

Mid Canterbury will be without opening bowler Richard Print due to work commitments.

The 28-year-old, who has taken more than 100 representative wickets, offers a threat with both ball and bat, but Ravenscroft insisted it will offer an opportunity for others to make the step up.

Meanwhile, North Otago are at full strength, but player-coach Stephan Grobler is expecting a tough encounter.

“They have something to play for, it’s not a dead rubber match, cricket is a funny game and they will want to perform well on their home ground, that could make a difference.”

In brief Azarenka advances Two-time champion Victoria Azarenka has continued her near-faultless run at the Australian Open, crushing Danka Kovinic 6-1 6-2 in the second round. Azarenka is seeded 14th but on current form is shaping as Serena Williams’ biggest challenger at Melbourne Park. The 26-year-old, who won the Open in 2012 and 2013, dished out a double bagel in the opening round. Having ended Alison Van Uytvanck’s campaign in just 53 minutes, Azarenka accounted for Kovinic in a tick over an hour. - AP

‘Kyrgios can win an Australian Open’ Tennis greats John Newcombe and Pat Cash believe Nick Kyrgios can win the Australian Open.

Just probably not this one.

Newcombe and Cash are bullish about the prospects of the precocious 20-year-old ahead of his third-round blockbuster with big-hitting Czech sixth seed Tomas Berdych today.

But the former Wimbledon champions agree Kyrgios needs time to develop elite fitness to go with his explosive game.

“He’s not far away from challenging for an Australian Open.

You watch him play and he seems to be able to raise himself to another level when he needs to,” Newcombe said.

“He just needs to keep working at it.

“I’m not sure he’s quite there yet on the physical side and we’ll only find that out when he has to have a couple of tough five-set matches one after the other.

“But certainly if he’s not 100 per cent physically fit, then he’s not going to win an Australian Open because you’ve got to do a heck of a lot of hard work as you get to the quarters and the semis.

“The guys that are at the top now, they can do that, and I don’t know if Nick can yet.

“But he’s fun to watch and he’s got a great game - he’s got

Teenage backrower Simon Kennewell is the latest youngster to be handed the chance to push for a spot in Australia’s Sevens rugby squad for the Rio Olympics with selection in the 12-man team for the next round of the world series. The 19-year-old and speedster John Porch were the new faces in Australia’s squad announced yesterday for the Wellington Sevens on January 30-31. New coach Andy Friend will watch from the Westpac Stadium stands before taking over the role permanently for the inaugural Sydney Sevens the following weekend.

Real tops money tree the potential to be a top-four player.”

A quarter-finalist last year, Kyrgios has loads of rankings points to defend against Berdych, a semi-finalist the past two years, in a clash Newcombe labelled “a 50-50 match”.

Cash is more confident Kyrgios can upset Berdych to progress to a possible fourth-round match-up with Roger Federer.

“I absolutely think he’ll get through Tomas Berdych, but whether he can back up with five sets and then another five sets ... it might be a little bit beyond him this year,” Cash said.

“I think Nick has absolute grand slam potential - I’m not sure if it’s a little bit too far for him this year to go all the way but next year for sure.

“He’ll do really well in this tournament and in the future.”

Kyrgios said he could draw some confidence from his success against Berdych at International Tennis Premier League level late last year, but acknowledged the big stage at Melbourne Park was a total different ball game.

“You can’t compare grand slams to ITPL,” he said.

“I know what he’s capable of.

He’s one of the best players in the world.

“He’s going to be wanting to win as much as I’m going to be wanting to win, so it’s going to be tough.”

Kyrgios required treatment on his serving arm during his eventful second-round win over Pablo Cuevas and was troubled by a similar injury throughout last year.

But he insisted it wouldn’t derail his Open campaign. - AAP

In brief

Allenton eye up shield-holder

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

The final round of the 2015-16 Pritchard Shield will see Allenton host Tech and Coldstream entertain Lauriston tomorrow.

Tech retained the shield last Saturday after the penultimate round of play was called off due to rain.

Heading into last weekend, Tech were at the top of the ladder on 15 points followed by Lauriston on nine, and Allenton, Methven and Coldstream on seven points.

Stags were scheduled to lock horns with Lauriston in a clash of the top two last Saturday and Methven were set to host Allenton before the surfaces were deemed unfit for play.

A win for Lauriston over Tech would have kept their hopes of winning the shield alive had Tech lost their last match against Allenton and Lauriston downed Coldstream this weekend.

But the rule of all playing teams receiving one point in the case of an abandoned round pushed Tech’s lead to an unassailable six points.

Despite the shield returning to Tech’s clubrooms, the sides have the motivation of raising their stock in the Studholme Shield rankings to play for.

Senior cricket will return for the Muirhead Rosebowl next weekend.

Allenton will be looking to hand newly crowned champions Tech their second loss of the 201516 Pritchard Shield season tomorrow. Coldstream play Lauriston at Coldstream in the other senior fixture. Games start at 12.30pm.

“But having said that I’ve always found you focus on the process and the outcome will look after itself.”

Nevill is expecting to face a Kiwi side motivated by the desire to avenge a recent 2-0 series loss in Australia and to send captain Brendon McCullum out on a high.

McCullum, who will make his 100th Test appearance in the first match of the series, recently announced he would be retiring from international cricket fol-

lowing the return series against Australia.

“They are looking at sending Brendon McCullum out on a very high note,” Nevill said.

“Obviously playing his 100th Test match for the Black Caps is a wonderful achievement, it’s an amazing career.

“They will certainly be looking to not only win for themselves but win for him.”

As a fellow member of the `keepers club, Nevill holds McCullum in high regard.

“I’ve obviously looked up to him, but there’s not many similarities between myself and Brendon. We’re different types of players,” Nevill said.

“In that respect I haven’t wanted to emulate what he’s done.”

McCullum has been a mainstay of the NZ side in all three forms of the game, while Nevill thus far has only represented in the Test format.

“I’m only focusing on Test cricket, that’s what I’ve been picked for,” Nevill said.

McIlroy: Majors mean more than Olympics World No.1 Jordan Spieth and rival Rory McIlroy have begged to differ on the importance of winning golfing gold at the Rio Olympics this August.

While Spieth said standing on top of the podium would rank alongside winning a major tournament, Northern Irishman McIlroy left no doubt about which one he would rather win given the choice.

“I think a major championship is the pinnacle of our sport,” the world No.3 who won two majors in 2014 but lost the top ranking last year after a slow start and an ankle injury, told reporters ahead

A radical overhaul of rugby’s bonus points system is set to be announced this week. South Africa’s SuperSport says the fourtry bonus point will be scrapped in this year’s 18-team Super Rugby competition. Teams will now get the bonus by scoring at least three more tries than their opposition.

The system, which is used in the French Top 14, gives teams more to play for in lopsided contests. It forces teams who have scored a bonus point to ensure opponents don’t close the gap to two tries. conversely, the team trailing in try scoring can rob their opponents of the bonus point by closing the gap to two. The report says SANZAR will also introduce a limited trial where the referees’ microphones are linked to stadium sound systems, so spectators are kept informed about why decisions have been made.

ABs choose Pepsi

Aussies inspired to regain No1 Test ranking The incentive of regaining top spot in the Test rankings looms as a tasty carrot for Australia heading into next month’s two-match away series against New Zealand.

Australia are currently ranked No.3 behind India and South Africa, but can regain the No.1 ranking by winning the series over the Black Caps.

“It’s a big carrot being dangled, obviously our goal as a team is to be the No.1 Test playing nation,” Australian Test wicketkeeper Nevill said yesterday.

of the European Tour’s Abu Dhabi Championship.

“I think I’ll be remembered for my major championships. So all I’ve dreamed of from a little kid is winning majors. I never dreamed of competing in the Olympics or winning an Olympic medal,” he added.

“So in my mind, a major will always be more important.”

Golf is returning to the Olympics this August for the first time since 1904, although its inclusion has divided opinion with some players declaring it little more than an ‘exhibition’ sport.

Critics argue that golf, like ten-

nis which returned to the Olympic fold in 1988, already has its four blue riband events and should not be in the Games.

To accommodate the Olympic tournament, the year’s final major, the PGA Championship, has also had to be moved to late July from its traditional date in the second week of August, but Spieth sounded keen.

“The way I look at it right now, I look at them equal,” said the 22-year-old Masters and US Open champion. “Just because to say you’re a gold medallist - you won a gold medal for your country in the Olympics ...

“But if I had not won a major, I would probably still say a major.

At this point I would argue that a gold medal would be very, very special.”

However, Spieth said winning the biennial Ryder Cup with the US team in Minnesota in September/October was probably top of his priorities for 2016 after playing on the losing side against Europe in 2014.

“It’s still a long ways until Hazeltine, but if we can continue what we’ve been doing over this past year in young American golf, we’re going to go in and be pretty excited about who is next to us.”

The New Zealand Rugby Union has ended a two-decade long commercial relationship with CocaCola by signing a deal with Pepsi.

The new five-year partnership will see the All Blacks linked to Gatorade, rather than Coca-Cola owned Powerade, the rugby union said in a statement. NZRU first signed a sponsorship deal with Coca-Cola in 1995, and it was last renewed in 2012. No financial details of the deal have been released. The most recent set of accounts published by the NZRU for calendar 2014 show it had commercial income of just over $87 million dollars, just under 75 per cent of its total income of $121 million dollars.

Joseph confirms move The Highlanders have confirmed that coach Jamie Joseph will leave at the end of the Super Rugby season to take up the role as Japan national coach. A former Japan international, Joseph was first linked with the role in December, as the union began searching for a replacement for Eddie Jones, now the head coach of England.

Joseph is in his sixth season with the Highlanders and has previously coached in Japan. Highlanders CEO Roger Clark said the search for a new head coach will begin as soon as possible.

Ref asks for date A football player in Spain who said a referee tried to ask her out during a game will not file a formal complaint because it’s her word against his. Romanian defender Elena Pavel accused referee Santiago Quijada Alcon of trying to provoke her by asking her on a date in Sporting Huelva’s first-division game against Santa Teresa on Sunday. Pavel told Marca newspaper she felt “humiliated” but won’t take further action, partly because nobody else witnessed the incident. According to Pavel, the referee said he wanted to grab a cup of coffee with her after the game. She said she told him to keep the focus on his officiating. The referee denied saying anything to Pavel, and the local referees’ association said Wednesday it might take action against Pavel because of her accusation.

■ BIG BASH

Scorcher Hogg fights to keep dream

Brad Hogg

Perth Scorchers spinner Brad Hogg admits the BBL finals series could make or break his wish to extend his Twenty20 career.

Hogg looms as a key figure in tonight’s semi-final against the Melbourne Stars at the MCG. The 44-year-old has established himself as one of Australia’s best T20 bowlers during the past four BBL seasons.

But Hogg is the first to admit his output this summer hasn’t been up to his usual standards.

In eight BBL appearances this season, Hogg has snared just five wickets at an average of 43.8.

Hogg is desperate to play on for

the Scorchers next season, and probably a few more years after that.

But he knows he needs to show his worth during the upcoming finals if he is to make that happen.

“It hasn’t been the best tournament for me. I’m going into the final under a little bit of pressure on a personal note,” Hogg said.

“I’ve always said I want to keep playing. I’m not going to retire until JL (coach Justin Langer) forces me out, so I’ve got one or two more games to prove myself for next year.

“Hopefully I can pull my weight in this final and be the one to turn

things around for us.”

The Scorchers will be boosted by the return of star pace duo Joel Paris and Jason Behrendorff, while opener Marcus Harris is in line for a recall to increase the side’s batting power.

A crowd in excess of 50,000 is expected to cheer the Stars on, and the pressure will be on the home side to reach the final.

The Stars have been eliminated in the semi-finals in each of the previous four seasons, with the Scorchers responsible for three of those exits.

But question marks surround the mettle of Perth’s batting line-

up after they were skittled for 94 by the Stars at the WACA Ground last week.

“It was a debacle the other night,” Hogg said.

“We didn’t play anywhere near to our best.

“So that’s a good thing - it’s a bit of a wake-up call for us.”

The Stars will rely heavily on star import Kevin Pietersen, who has averaged 31 in seven BBL appearances this summer.

Hogg said his fondest MCG memory was playing in the Boxing Day Test of 2007, when he snared four wickets in a 337-run win over India.

Hat-trick hopes in Browning’s 80th year

By James Ford

James.F@TheGuardian.co.nz

A combined Mid CanterburyWest Coast team will be gunning for a third successive Browning Shield triumph at the Lincoln and Prebbleton tennis courts this weekend.

The 2013-14 outright victory ended a 33-year drought, with Mid Canterbury having previously lifted the shield in the 1980-81 season, although they did share the trophy with Ellesmere in 1991-92.

An extended squad of 20 players has been named in order for singles and doubles specialists to be utilised in each tie.

Mid Canterbury Tennis Association board member, Cynthia Christie, who was part of the triumphant 2013-14 team, is confident that this year’s group has the attributes to retain the 80-yearold shield.

“I think on paper this would be the strongest team we’ve fielded in the last three years,” she said.

“A lot of these guys are still in the junior ranks and they played for us in the Browning Shield last year, and their games have improved a lot.”

Each match will consist of six men’s and six women’s singles, three men’s and three women’s doubles and six mixed doubles.

Last year’s win was Mid Canterbury’s 17th to level with Elles-

mere since the shield’s inception in the summer of 1936-37, while Malvern have the most wins with 23.

Women - Tessa McCann, Ashleigh Leonard, Christal Brosnahan, Jo Taylor, Caroline Murdoch, Erin Connelly-Whyte, Jane Brosnahan, Julie Williams, MaryAnne Thyne, Dianna Leonard.

Inga’s son exciting prospect in boxing ring Va’aiga Tuigamala terrorised opponents while playing on the wing for Auckland and the All Blacks, and his son, Lika, is on track to do similar things in the ring as a boxer.

Lika, a 15-year-old who stands 1.9m (6 foot 3) and weighs about 117kg, is fighting on the undercard of Joseph Parker’s heavyweight clash against Jason Bergman in Apia tomorrow night.

It will be his first fight and it will be against 28-year-old Seloti Fata, Samoa’s national amateur heavyweight champion, who has

had more than 50 bouts.

However, young Lika is confident of getting the right result despite his youth and inexperience.

“My preparation has been good,” he said. “Also, in sparring last Saturday – and I know it’s different to fighting – I stopped him in the first round. I think I cracked the cartilage in his nose.

“I finished him in the first round and I have finished the No2 in the first round.

“I’m not cocky, but I’m confident.”

Asked about fighting older

men, he said: “Because of my weight, I have to fight men. There aren’t many 15-year-olds that are 117kg.”

The finishing touches on his preparation were provided by Parker’s trainer Kevin Barry at the open-sided gym on the outskirts of Apia constructed in an abandoned building by Lika’s father, who became known as “Inga the Winger” during his rugby career, and his elder brother Bubba, who is also fighting at the nearby Faleata sports complex on Saturday.

Parker, who did a light session at the gym yesterday, features on a poster positioned between pictures of former Samoan heavyweights David Tua and Jimmy Peau.

Barry helped Lika with his footwork and jab, and afterwards said: “He’s a very exciting young prospect. To have that size and that power at the age of 15 is quite unique.

“He obviously has very good pedigree and I saw huge potential in the short session that we did.”

Kevin Pietersen will return to the Big Bash League for the next two seasons after signing a new deal with the Melbourne Stars.

The prolific former England batsman has scored 187 runs at an average of 31 for the Stars this season, with his best performance coming against the Sydney Thunder in December when he hit 76 off 42 balls.

The 35-year-old is set to line up for the Stars in their semi-final against the Perth Scorchers at the MCG tonight.

“I’m delighted to extend my contract with the Stars and looking forward to kicking off with a huge finals series this weekend,” Pietersen said.

“I really enjoy being around the club, I’ve developed great relationships with the boys and I’m excited about what the next couple of seasons will bring with the playing and coaching group we have together,” he said.

Pietersen has also been filling commentary roles while in Australia on both Channel Nine and Network Ten cricket broadcasts, including while on the field for the Stars.

Stars head coach Stephen Fleming said Pietersen’s commitment would allow the MCGbased team to develop consistency on their list.

“KP wins games and the more game breakers you can have in your squad, the more chances you give your team of winning tournaments,” Fleming said. - AP

Coby Snowden has been appointed as treasurer for National Rifle Association New Zealand following last Tuesday’s annual general meeting.

Snowden, who also serves as treasurer for the Caninspire Charitable Trust, along with several shooting clubs, will now manage the finances of the NRA. The 51-year-old accountant will have

“It’s a worthwhile organisation and it’s nice to keep my hand in with accounting,” she said. “It’s exciting times with the World Champs coming up, which is a major event expecting 500 shooters.”

■ RUGBY LEAGUE

Hungry Burgess to fire up Rabbitohs in NRL South Sydney coach Michael Maguire has declared Sam Burgess has returned to the club a hungrier player and better person after his ill-fated stint in English rugby union.

A critical part of the Rabbitohs’ 2014 drought-breaking NRL title-winning side, power forward Burgess has returned to the NRL after one season.

Burgess broke into the England side for the 2015 Rugby World Cup as a centre, but didn’t have anywhere near the impact he had as a barnstorming league forward.

The Englishman is clearly thirsting for more success in rugby league after again linking with Souths and making his presence felt with the Rabbitohs.

“He’s a real positive man and a big presence,” Maguire said of Burgess on Wednesday.

“He’s definitely brought that, but I think he’s brought a big hunger.

“He’s been through a lot himself in what he’s endured, but what that’s gained now is a lot of experience in who he is as a person.

“We know he’s such a positive influence not only on the field but off the field.

“But I think the learnings he had since he’s been away have brought him back as a better person.”

Maguire wouldn’t commit to when Burgess would have his first pre-season hitout.

“We want to make sure his body is in the right shape for rugby league, so we’ll just monitor that daily and then work out when we’re going to play him,” Maguire said.

He was keen to put to bed a spat between club co-owner and movie star Russell Crowe and Rabbitohs playmaker Luke Keary.

Crowe has apologised for berating fiveeighth Keary during a team bonding session last month and took to social media to accept the blame after the Seven Network reported the player stormed out of the actor’s Coffs Harbour property.

“Luke Keary situation entirely my fault,” Crowe tweeted on Wednesday.

“A bit of banter that went too far. I’ve apologised.”

Maguire downplayed the incident.

“There’s been talk about him (Keary) having a discussion with our owner, but two men chatting to each other, that’s all part of what goes on in any organisation,” Maguire said.

The normally earnest Maguire did at least find a grain of humour in the situation.

“He (Keary) was probably a bit smart. He didn’t have to go through a nine-hour bus ride to go home - he went and jumped on a plane, so good on him,” Maguire said.

22/1 ALL PUZZLES © THE PUZZLE COMPANY

YOUR STARS ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): Don’t ask for what you want. Get in there and politely inform the gatekeeper that you already have what you want, and that you’re available and ready for more of it.

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): There are undeniable benefits to being on-trend, depending on whose trend it is. If you create the culture, you don’t have to worry about staying ahead of it.

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): You’ve been an idealist; you’ve been a cynic. And today you’ll float around between the two extremes. That’s where you meet friends who think at your level. Such a treasure!

CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): When you were small you had to be in a familiar place to feel completely safe. You’ve grown into your “crab” essence. You’re safe because of who you are, not where you are.

LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): The moon favours your every move; this is your day, your night, your extendedplay dance in the spotlight. Savour the creative outlet. When your turn is over, the creativity will still be inside you, waiting for the next showcase.

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): Unless you’re very aware of your surroundings and how others are feeling, you may not realise what’s at stake in a situation.

Challenge yourself to be more observant. What you’ll note is that everyday life takes courage.

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Education is expensive, especially the unstructured, informal education you get from hanging out with people in glamorous settings.

Be frugal now so you can weather the storm later.

SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Laughter is one of your favourite love notes. It means someone is sharing in your joy, as well as your intellect, and general experience. You’ll connect in giggles and love.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): It’s a day to pay the piper, and he’s not offering a layaway plan or instalment options, either. Regardless of how you handle it, by the end of the day you’ll be square.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): Of course there are no winners in conversation. However, if there were winners, the prize would go to the one who chooses the best topic. You’ve a knack for knowing which one will bring the most interest and fun.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): You thrill to the unpredictable turns of this rollercoaster day. The anticipation will be sweet — maybe even sweeter than the fast plunge that comes afterward.

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Indulge your whims, or they will turn against you, pouting and dragging your mood through the mud. With no specific agenda, activities take you where you need to be.

Ross Taylor hits a six into the grandstand against Pakistan during a T20 match.

Taylor’s licence to thrill A change is as good as a holiday sounds like dubious advice, but expect it to hold merit for Ross Taylor as he moves to No 5 in New Zealand’s T20 batting order.

Taylor had long been established as the country’s No 4 in all formats, but the onset of the World T20 in India during March has brought a refreshed mindset.

The 31-year-old’s experience, and the guarantee of a starting spot, means he is ideally suited to play the chameleon.

If New Zealand need to up the pace, Taylor can accelerate.

Few who observed his 131 against Pakistan in Pallekele at the 2011 World Cup will forget him scoring the final 55 runs in 13 balls.

His adversaries’ deliveries took

off like carrier pigeons.

Shoaib Akhtar’s ninth over went for 28 runs; Abdul Razzaq’s fourth went for 30.

In Hollywood parlance, Taylor was once expected to play an Arnold Schwarzenegger-like role every time, now he has the freedom to go a touch more Robert de Niro and add subtlety to his game.

The decision gives Colin Munro and Corey Anderson more licence to swashbuckle as New Zealand pre-empt Brendon McCullum’s retirement.

The methodology also enables New Zealand to split their most reliable batsmen in all formats – Kane Williamson and Taylor – as an innings insurance policy.

The plan worked well in the summer’s first T20I against Sri

Lanka at Mt Maunganui where Taylor cobbled 22 from nine balls after entering in the 17th over. He hasn’t had another opportunity.

“A bit has been made of the move,” Taylor said.

“But I often enjoyed that role in the IPL [Indian Premier League] and Kane and Hess [coach Mike Hesson] wanted me to bat there.

“On one hand it’s totally different [at international level] but on the other I’ve done it before. It could provide an important role in the World Cup, especially with spinners. Hopefully my experience can come to the fore.

“I think you’re more relaxed, you don’t have to put your pads on straight away. I didn’t have pads on at all in my last couple of games. It hasn’t been a bad thing.”

Taylor said the fact so many New Zealanders, eight in the current squad of 13, had IPL experience would help when India hosts the World T20.

“A lot of other top players are in a similar boat, but I think Colin [Munro] getting experience there last year [as injury cover with the Mumbai Indians], Mitch [McClenaghan at Mumbai] and Milney [Adam Milne at Bangalore] is valuable. They weren’t playing a lot of games, but just rubbing shoulders can help.

“Going to grounds [at international tournaments] can often be foreign, but this time it’s not. We will have a lot of extra information compared to the past.”

Taylor also advocated several New Zealanders signing England

county deals in a rare international off season from April to July.

“It has helped fast-track a lot of our players and made us a good team over the last while with the depth we continue to build.

Taylor opted not to put his name forward for the IPL, where there were no guarantees. Instead he chose to realise a long coveted dream by signing a contract with Sussex.

“My daughter Mackenzie will be five in September so it’s one of the last times I can play county cricket for an extended period. It won’t be as easy to pick up and leave when she starts school. “[County cricket’s] something I always wanted to do as a kid, and one of the first things I said when I went to the academy.” - NZ Herald
